Mukul Roy appointed PAC head in WB Assembly; BJP declines top role in other House panels
Senior politician Mukul Roy, who recently switched over to the TMC after winning the state elections on a BJP ticket, was on Friday appointed as the chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee in West Bengal Assembly by Speaker Biman Banerjee.
Offended by the speakers decision, BJP MLAs, led by Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari, staged a walkout, announcing that the party henceforth wouldn t be heading any committee in the House.
Roy, officially a BJP MLA from Krishnanagar Uttar, joined the TMC last month. He, however, did not resign as a legislator, despite being asked to do so by the saffron party.
